2. divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. ... Two plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary
4. the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate.
5. results suggest that tectonic plates also need this type of lubrication to keep moving."
6. Rocks and Plate Boundaries. Intense igneous activity happens along divergent and some convergent plate boundaries.
9. Metamorphic rocks result from the forces active during plate tectonic processes.

1. Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that explains how major landforms are created as a result of Earth's subterranean movements.
3. Continental drift is the hypothesis that the Earth's continents have moved over geologic time relative to each other.
7. divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock).
8. of rock) that has formed from sediment deposited by water or air.
10. This occurs when plates move towards each other and collide. When a continental plate meets an oceanic plate, the thinner, denser, and more flexible oceanic plate sinks beneath the thicker, more rigid continental plate
